Rob Kelly & Frankie Krutches - Green Lantern Freestyle




Here is the Freestyle I did with Frankie Krutches for his mixtape with Green Lantern. I had worked with Green before on the Memphis Bleek track and he is a down to earth guy.

He is the best Mixtape DJ in the world as far as I'm concerned but as well as that he is a super producer and has now been tour dj for Eminem, Jay-Z & Nas (thats quite a list)

A lot of rappers have been in the game for a long time and have never worked with someone like Green Lantern, so it was an honour for me to do this track. We went in over one of my favourite old Nas songs. Shout out to Swift, Green's assistant and Frank who will be home soon.

Throwback - Cella Dwellas "Return Of Jane"




Don't know if this quite fits into the category of classic but it was my favorite shit back in the day. I had this on tape with the classic Biggie,Pac, BDK MSG freestyle(How come Scoob and Shyheim always get overlooked from that ciper?)

Anyway big up the Cella Dwellas, they were signed to loud, back in the day and all this talk of Rock The Bells festival that just went down in London and had EPMD on the line up got me thinking of the "Jane" series which in turn led me to this...Cella Dwellas unreleased ode to EPMD's "Jane part one,two,three etc (I'm a lateral thinker like that)

This later resurfaced all changed up and watered down on their 96 albun "Realmz N Reality" as the single "Perfect Match"

I often wondered what happened to them, the first I heard of them was a freestyle on Westwood that had them, channel live & mad skillz in NYC. If anyone has it please hit me with a message, skillz finished it off with "yeah kid its no stoppin this I'm leavin rappers petro, like craig mack's dermatologist" that was a rewind button breaker

I've been ranting and raving about this for a long time, I'm not a big R&B head but I love this tune, bit disappointed with the video though, I thought they would have her go Britney with the Umberella on the car

Salaam Remi on the beat.

Styles speaks on New Lox Album

The Lox are one of my favourite groups, They are dropping a long awaited follow up to "We Are The Streets" this summer.



Styles P was in Dublin this year to team up for live shows at Oxegen and Doran's with The Republic Of Loose who he collaborated with on their latest album. I was raging I couldn't make it on the night as it looked like a dope show


Look out for my upcoming collaboration with Republic Of Loose produced by Mike Donnelly. Hot Shit
